Background on Project

China Resources Power Holdings and Chongqing Energy Investment Group have proposed a coal-electricity integrity project with 10*660MW coal-fired units in the area of Guizhou Bijie Prefecture. The plants would consist of two 660 MW units each in Dafang County, Qianxi County, Jinsha County, Nayong County and Qixingguan District, along with a 20 mtpa coal mining project. The estimated investment is near ¥100 billion. All the electricity generated by these 10 units will supply Chongqing DC Municipality. CR Qixingguan power station is one of them.

Construction on CR Qixingguan is planned for 2015-2017, at a total investment of 3.6 billion yuan.

Unlike CR Dafang Power Station and CR Qianxi power station, as of January 2017 CR Qixingguan power station has not yet received a permit for preliminary development or construction.

2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
